Is your organisation passionate about and adept at facilitating dynamic learning experiences with diverse groups of people? Do you have deep and extensive experience working with civil society groups across Nigeria? Do you practice participatory, creative, and transformative approaches in linking together communities online and offline? Do you regularly identify opportunities for collaboration and research? If you and your organisation said yes to all of the questions above, Voice in Nigeria is looking for you!
Voice is currently seeking proposals for its “Connecting Voice(s): Nigeria Linking & Learning Facilitation” with an aim to produce evidence and innovative solutions to catalyse transformative changes for the most marginalised and discriminated groups. Voice Linking and learning refers to the total of activities, processed and trajectories realised to boost collaboration, connectedness, sharing, listening, learning, creativity, innovation, and application of new knowledge.
Objectives
- A mutual learning process: exchange of knowledge, experiences and lessons learned amongst grantees, contributing to the empowerment of the voice target groups. The fund management agent should take into account any challenges (including logistics) that may arise in bringing these groups together.
- Local ownership of the learning agenda through an endogenous process in which the needs, existing knowledge, expectations and questions of voice target groups are put at the centre.
- Sustainability: the linking and learning process is to be designed in a way that it can be sustained after the official duration of voice.
- The linking and learning process has a connection with the proposed system for monitoring and evaluation of programs.
Funding Information
Voice in Nigeria is accepting proposals spanning 24-months and with a maximum budget of €200,000
Targeted Outcomes
- Marginalised groups, CSOs and other key stakeholders develop and implement innovative and effective strategies to reach, empower and strengthen influencing capacities of marginalised and discriminated groups
- A linking and learning infrastructure is in place that visibly contributes to the insights, understanding and innovation capacity of grantees and other stakeholders of the program.
